Castroviejo Surgical Caliper – Curved, Weiss Type, 17cm

Castroviejo Surgical Caliper – Curved, Weiss Type, 17cm for Precise Intraoral Measurement

The Castroviejo Surgical Caliper – Curved, Weiss Type, 17cm is designed for clinicians who need dependable dimensional measurements during implant planning, periodontal assessment, bone evaluation, and oral surgical procedures. Its primary role is measurement rather than tissue manipulation, giving the clinician a dedicated tool for assessing anatomical dimensions before or during treatment.

The defining characteristic of this caliper is its Weiss-modified curved configuration. The curved measuring tips can be positioned around anatomical contours more effectively than a conventional straight measuring profile, making it useful when direct access to a measurement site is restricted. This geometry can also help maintain a clearer line of sight while the measurement is being taken.

A 0–40mm measuring range gives the instrument versatility across different clinical measurements. It can be used to assess dimensions such as alveolar ridge width, implant-site measurements, bone-graft dimensions, and soft-tissue thickness, depending on the requirements of the procedure.

The caliper incorporates a precision adjustment mechanism that allows the measuring arms to move smoothly. This controlled adjustment helps the operator position the tips accurately against the structures being assessed and obtain repeatable dimensional readings rather than relying on visual estimation alone.

The 17cm overall length provides a practical balance between reach and handling. Intraoral measurement often requires the instrument to reach the intended site without unnecessarily obstructing the clinician's working view, and the curved tip configuration complements this length by directing the measuring ends toward the target area.

Clinically, the caliper can support implant treatment planning, ridge assessment, bone-graft evaluation, periodontal measurements, oral surgery, and maxillofacial assessment. It can be used wherever accurate anatomical dimensions are needed to inform treatment planning or document surgical findings.

Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel, the instrument is intended for repeated professional use. Its corrosion-resistant construction and autoclavable design allow it to be incorporated into established clinical cleaning and sterilization workflows.

Clinical Applications

• Implant Treatment Planning — measuring implant-site dimensions and supporting preoperative anatomical assessment.
• Alveolar Ridge Assessment — evaluating ridge width and other relevant dimensions during implant planning.
• Bone Graft Evaluation — measuring graft dimensions where accurate sizing is required.
• Periodontal Assessment — supporting dimensional measurements of relevant periodontal and soft-tissue structures.
• Oral Surgery — providing intraoperative anatomical measurements where dimensional accuracy is required.
• Maxillofacial Assessment — assisting with measurement and documentation of anatomical structures during appropriate surgical procedures.
